Export Batch Processing Count

When exporting a batch of images, it processes files one at a time. I have a 32 core CPU and a 3090GTX. During an export, my CPU utilization bounces between 8% and 12%, and my GPU utilization bounces between 10% and 20%. There is seemingly no reason why my system couldn't process 6 to 8 files at a time. If there was an option to select a "Simultaneous Batch Export Count" (or whatever you would call it), like a pulldown in Preferences where we could select some range based on how many logical cores we actually have, we could exponentially decrease export render times and have flexibility to limit the feature. When I export a batch, I want my computer to catch on fire, not stroll through the park watching squirrels.

Current workaround

Wait a really long time.

    Hi Mike, thanks for the feedback - this does sound odd, which version are you using?

    We will probably never use 100% of your CPU and GPU cores, but we have made changes to our software last year that enables multiple files to be exported in parallel.
